Navratri / Golu Gift Ideas

Coming to the gift part, first and foremost thing I would like to stress is 'Gift' is not important for a celebration. The boosting of spirit & sweet memories are the best gifts you can give your guests as a wonderful Host.

Still sharing some ideas if you desire to gift.

Few points before you buy a gift:-

Plan it as per your budget.

Prepare a list of Guest whom you expect will attend the golu so that accordingly you can decide on the suitable gift for them

Dedication!

I Dedicate this blog space to my Parents, who encouraged me in every step of my life with their love, support and motivation.

My mother who is my friend, philosopher and guide, identified the talent in me and moulded it through her encouraging words. She has got lot of talents in her, which was not recognised or nurtured properly. So the inborn artist in her,saw it in me and made me become one.

My Father, who is my guardian angel now is showering his blessings on me from the heaven. I am proud to be an Indian,and to be born in a family with rich cultural and bonding values. I am proud to be their daughter because of which I am now what I am.

Amma and Appa, How many ever births I take, I would be still indebted to you for all that you have given me in this birth. All i can give back to you is my love. I know, your blessings are always with me. I love you Ma , I love you Pa.

Thank you
